Life Science Selectives

Life Science Selectives

Life Science selectives are courses approved by the BME curriculum committee that provide a student more knowledge about biological and chemical principles to supplement their engineering coursework. Life Science selectives are taken from various departments including Biology, Chemistry, Public Health, and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences.

If you would like to request that a course not on the list be considered for one-time approval as a Life Science selective, please contact your primary advisor. Approval requests submitted after the second week of classes will not be considered. The deadline for Spring 2024 approval requests is January 19, 2024.

Life Science Selective Policy

A total of 6 credit hours must be completed with the following restrictions:

  • Students cannot count both PUBH 40000 and PUBH 40500 towards their Life Science selectives.
